Design Thinking

Reimagining Problems to Create Smarter, Faster Solutions

Design Thinking Matters. Companies and leaders today need new ways to solve new challenges and seize opportunities faster to stay ahead. Design Thinking is a process and a capability that transforms how we think, work and reimagine how we solve a wide range of problems and deliver value to customers, external and internal. It can be applied to products, services and processes. It provides a structure to navigate complexity and, in the process, builds creative adaptive problem solving leaders and teams.

At Duke Corporate Education, we work with you to infuse this capability in your organization by engaging your leaders or teams in a real world problem-based workshop customized for your organization.

“The dominant idea behind strategy – establishing a sustainable source of competitive advantage – is becoming irrelevant. We need a new playbook to compete and win when competitive advantages are transient. Companies need to get better at figuring out what people really need and will pay for, at designing better experiences and wrestling new efficiencies from existing assets.”

-Rita McGrath
